AIM or not, who cares as long as it gets the point across. Just be clear and concise.

The TOL cards, I don't understand but putting the transponder to 1200 I like because if I'm about to call for a before start/push checklist and I see 1200 still in the squawk I know someone has forgotten to do something. I have seen guys get to "Transponder.... XXXX set, ON" and just read whats showing in the box rather than what they got from the clearance. Talk about defeating the purpose...
